Closely read what AG Barr said in his MSNBC interview. Then read it again.

Fake News: “The inspector General says he found no evidence to indicate that the FBI’s decision to start this investigation was based on political bias. Do you agree?”

AG Barr: “Well, what he actually- I think you have to understand what the IG’s methodology is, and I think it’s the appropriate methodology for an inspector general. He starts with limited information, he can only talk to people who are essentially there as employees, and he’s limited to the information, generally, in the FBI. But his approach is to say ‘If I get an explanation from the people that I’m investigating that is not unreasonable on it’s face, then I will accept it as long as there is not contradictory testimonial or documentary evidence’. — In other words, it’s a very deferential standard, and all he said is ‘People gave me an explanation, and I didn’t find anything to contradict it, so I don’t have a basis for saying that there was improper motive’. But he hasn’t decided the issue of improper motive ... I think we have to wait until the full investigation is done, and that’s the fundamental distinction between what Durham is doing and what the IG is doing. Durham is not limited to the FBI. He can talk to other agencies, he can compel people to testify. One of the problems in the IG’s investigation is Comey refused to sign back up for his security clearance and therefore couldn’t be questioned about classified matters. So someone like Durham can compel testimony, he can talk to a whole range of people, private parties, foreign governments and so forth. I think that is a point at which a decision has to be made about motivations and I think right now it would be premature to make any decision one way or the other.”
